Description
## Context
From the July 2026 review of the public repository inventory, covering the developer-facing repo surface under `github.com/ethereum-optimism`. Part of the **Interop public repo cleanup** epic (#1008). This task is scoped so it can be completed without protocol-team involvement: no protocol-side decision, review, or code change is a precondition.
Target repo: `ethereum-optimism/super-cli`
## Finding
`super-cli` has low adoption, and there is nothing interop-related in the CLI today. It could be a useful surface for interop CLI commands in future, but that would require dedicated work.
## Scope
Make the call:
- **Invest:** scope the first interop commands and file them as follow-up work.
- **Deprecate:** deprecate/archive with a README notice pointing at the supported alternative.
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] Written decision with rationale, published in the repo.
- [ ] If invest: a follow-up issue filed scoping the first interop commands.
- [ ] If deprecate: README notice added and archive executed.
## Open questions
- What adoption signal would justify investing? Is there a threshold, or is this a judgment call?
- If we invest, who owns the CLI going forward?
- If we deprecate, what is the named alternative for existing users?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the adoption finding and the target ethereum-optimism/super-cli repository. Write and publish the invest-or-deprecate decision with its rationale; if investing, file the follow-up issue, or if deprecating, add the README notice and archive the repository.
